Editorial Review:
Product DescriptionThe development of the .NET Framework, with the associated release of the C# programming language, is set to stimulate a new wave of application development. This book aims to provide the information needed to develop powerful data-centric applications using C#. To do this we'll be extensively covering the exciting new features of ADO.NET that deliver efficient data access and manipulation, and the XML handling capabilities of the .NET Framework. Accepting that data-centric applications will utilize a variety of sources and inputs, we'll also look at additional topics such as using ADO with C#, Messaging Services, and utililizing the Registry and Active Directory. This information is put into context within a number of case studies including one showing how to migrate an application from Visual Basic 6 to C#.
This book has been written with the Beta 2, feature complete version of the .NET Framework in mind, with, where possible, information on running code samples on Release Candidate 1.
This book covers:
Using ADO from C# and Visual Studio. NET Getting the most from ADO.NET Handling XML Working with the Active Directory Messaging Services Migrating applications from DNA to .NET Accessing the file system and Registry

Rating: - Lots of Paper - No Meat or Vegetables
The book seems to be written by a bunch of programmer who wrote some explanation around some of their already existing code.
Problem is that the book is so poorly indexed, that even though it covers examples in many subjects, unless you are willing to thumb through the entire book each time you need to look something up ... you won't find it.
Examples include: parameterized queries, combo boxes and even tool tips. Items such as these are covered, but not indexed, making the ... Read More
Rating: - All coded up and no one to show
I'd like to say that the code examples are the best part about the book. Also, it seems that the introduction started out very well, providing a great overview of ADO.NET. Yes, and XML, web forms, windows forms, web services/SOAP, and other useful sounding technologies are covered.
The book's documentation of the code, however, was very disappointing. It seems as though someone wrote the code, and someone else did their best to document the code. And did a poor job at that. There were ... Read More

Data-Centric .NET Programming with C#.
This book is about using .NET technologies to work with data, since data can reside in different forms at different places, this book focuses on :
Spends 4 chapters on "Databases", 2 on "XML/XSL", 1 on "Directory Services", 1 on "Messaging Services" and 1 on "Files/Registry". Rest of the book contains ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent.
As the title implies a large portion of the book deals with data access. However, the book also covers a wide range of other topics of interest to budding C# developers (e.g. messaging/directory/web services). The code in the book is as usefull to VB.net developers as it is to C# developers (assuming you can translate C# into VB.Net). Highly recommended.
Rating: - Wrox does it again - A+
I was a technical reviewer on this title and find it to be one of the books I keep going back to. It has a good spectrum of coverage and is really for those applying C# and .Net to a real world situation. It is not going to teach you syntax for C# but will show you how to use the .Net framework for Data intensive apps using technologies such as XML, Active Directory, How to migrate existing apps over to .Net to mention a few topics.
